“Women Are a Distraction?” Bali men-only resort sparks misogyny backlash

A men-only self-improvement retreat in northern Bali, Bali Time Chamber, said women are not allowed to enter.

The program promotes fitness, business, and skill-building, while banning alcohol, processed food, drugs, entertainment, and social media.

Its reported fee can reach $3,000, and a video shared on social media drew wide attention.

Critics say the marketing frames women as a distraction, sparking sexism and misogyny concerns.
